Water Activities

Swimming

The lake has an excellent swimming area. With a sandy beach and shady sitting area, you will enjoy splashing in the water or reading your book as you watch the children play. The swimming area is marked off with floating buoys so be sure to stay inside them for safety.

Tanking

You can also enjoy the afternoon by taking a journey down the Cedar River in a tank with your friends through "Get Tanked"—(picnic tables in plastic "tanks"). It's a hoot, and people come from all around Nebraska to experience it! For more information or to set up a tanking trip, go to www.get-tanked.com.

Fishing

Grab your fishing pole, and head to the dock. Lake Ericson offers prime fishing and even hosts an annual fishing competition. Read more about Lake Ericson fishing here.
